Matthew Bourne’s Nutcracker! NEW

‘Nothing else sends you home feeling as good about life as this’ – Daily Telegraph

‘Witty, wonderful, tender and funny’ – The Guardian

Matthew Bourne’s Nutcracker! follows Clara’s bittersweet journey from Christmas Eve at Dr. Dross’s Orphanage, through a shimmering winter wonderland, to the scrumptious candy kingdom of Sweetieland. Influenced by the lavish Hollywood musicals of the 1930s, Nutcracker! features dollops of Bourne’s trademark wit, pathos, and magical fantasy.

Tchaikovsky’s glorious score and Anthony Ward’s newly-refreshed delectable sets and costumes combine with Bourne’s dazzling choreography in this delightful production.

Starring Cordelia Braithwaite as ‘Clara’, Harrison Dowzell as ‘Nutcracker’, Ashley Shaw as ‘Sugar’ and Dominic North as ‘Fritz’, the production was filmed live at Sadler’s Wells, London, in January 2022, and is directed for the screen by Ross MacGibbon.
